When I read this tip I was so excited I grabbed an avocado that wasn't quite ready and decided to test it out myself. All I did was set the oven to 200 degrees, wrapped the avacado in foil placed it in a baking dish and let it warm. Here are the results.

• 5 minutes: No change.

• 10 minutes: No change.

• 15 minutes: It could maybe be starting to soften. But maybe not.

• 20 minutes: No, definitely not getting any softer.

• 25 minutes: I feel like it's thinking about getting softer.

• 30 minutes: I think it's getting softer. Maybe?

• 40 minutes: It could be starting to soften, but only a little bit.

• 50 minutes: Finally! Although minimal, there's some actual progress.

• 60 minutes: Yes! The avocado is actually softer. It feels ripe.

Once it cooled you remove the foil and you will have a ripe avocado. Now I will admit that as an avid avocado lover I was slightly underwhelmed at the flavor of the final product. Sure the texture was ok but there was something slightly lacking in the taste department. then again I eat them raw all the time so I am very picky. You may find nothing wrong with them.

All in all, this worked and is a great tip if you are cooking with an avocado and need it to ripen fast. Although I would choose one that isn't so hard to work with. That may lessen the bake time and help it retain some of its glorious flavor!
